MG Motor UK has revealed its revised corporate logo - part of a new corporate identity. The re-launched brand coincides with the first official unveiling of a new four-door saloon.

In its latest incarnation, the 86-year old octagon badge gets a slightly more rounded look. The red background is now part of the corporate design; used on signage, brochures and a revised web-site. The colour was chosen to 'signify the enduring passion that MG generates' as well as because of historic associations with the company.

The new image comes a month before the launch of the five-door MG6 sports fastback. A four-door version will also be assembled in MG's South Birmingham factory with plans to build up to 5,000 cars per year.
